How film set catering works in Greater London

There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for countryside locations and crew appreciation lunches.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day.

  1. Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
  2. We confirm access and send a price.
  3. The roast starts early.
  4. We carve fast on the lunch call.
  5. We clear our spot.

What you’ll pay

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Why book with us

  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • Served at the time you choose

Film and TV across Greater London

Locations across Greater London range from streets and industrial sites in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to farms and lanes in its villages. We need a level, open spot at base. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

London: Historic houses near London include Mansion House (1 mile north) and Dr Johnson's House (1.2 miles north-west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most keep cooking well away from the house, so plan the unit base with locations. The A2 and A10 give trucks and catering a straightforward route to London. By late September, sunset near London is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

For event organisers in Greater London

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why a hog roast works

A slow roast can wait a little.

A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:

  • Farm and estate locations
  • Ad shoots
  • Period drama shoots
  • Lunch at base

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

  • Stuffing generally contains gluten
  • Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
  • Halal isn’t offered
  • Label the alternatives clearly

We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
